I love it specifically because it's childish. It's unexpected and doesn't really compete with other pieces in the collection. That said, I recall Mr. Stern saying that it was a risk since his staff was evenly split -- folks either loved it or hated it. I'm curious to see whether the 5212 will expand into different metals/dials, or scrap the handwriting altogether for something more classically Patek.
